Choose your makeup foundation wisely. For that purpose, you must know your skin type. If your skin is dry, experts will advise you to purchase a lotion or liquid foundation and if it is oily, your cake base foundation. For normal skin type, a foundation can be chosen according to the weather condition. If it is too hot, try to apply cake base but if it is cold and dry weather, liquid foundation will suit your skin. Same is the case with the complexion. Choose the color which merges with your natural complexion.It will be a disaster if the foundation is over bright.

Brushes are available in market to apply a liquid foundation. If you are applying foundation with finger tips, it might not give an even tone. Foundation brush makes the foundation go deep down in your skin pores so it looks more even and smooth. Plus it will use lesser product than to apply with fingertips.

Base puff is essential:

After smudging the foundation and making it even with your fingertips, use sponge puff to make the base stick to your skin. Hold the puff with your three middle fingers on it and press it gently at your cheeks, forehead, T-Zone, chin, neck eyelids to make the base sit perfectly.

Apply face powder:

After puffing the foundation, use face powder to give a finishing to your makeup base. Face powder covers the flaws of foundation application and makes your skin look oil free and fresh. After that, you may use makeup fix spray to give a dewy and fresh look to your skin.
